Hatari Byrd was cited for possession late Tuesday night by Norman police
The citing officer immediately detected the strong scent of marijuana coming from inside Byrd's car and saw a bottle of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey sitting on the passenger side floorboard in plain view. The officer discovered the seal on the whisky bottle was open.

A K-9 unit was summoned by the citing officer, and Byrd was asked to exit his car when it arrived. The K-9 unit advised the citing officer that there were positive indications for illegal drugs in the car.

The citing officer searched Byrd's car and found a small plastic zip-lock bag that "had the strong odor of marijuana and marijuana residue, with a large '1' written on the baggie."

The citing officer asked Byrd if the "1" indicated a numerical sequence for more bags.

"No, it means one gram," Byrd said.

Byrd was cited and allowed to leave the scene. Byrd, a junior, played in all 13 of OU's games in 2014, accounting for 17 tackles, three pass-breakups and one forced fumble.

An Oklahoma spokesperson, when asked for comment on Byrd's citation told SoonerScoop.com, "We are aware of the matter and it is being handled internally."

You Okies have the strongest anti-drug laws in the country. I may not live long enough to see a change here. I do agree that pot laws should be thrown off the books tho. A lot of good people have been put through a washing machine of the judicial system for what...a plant?

No matter how we feel about pot, there will never be a day when it's ok to have wisky and pot in the car while driving. 2:00am and on the streets rarely turns out well when the police stop you.

He wasn't cited for driving drunk or being drunk because he wasn't drinking. He had a plastic bag that smelt like marijuana and probably a flake the size of a dust particle. Doesn't say he was cited for Minor in Possession, they probably just took it and nailed him on those serious drug charges.

I don't get Fireball Whiskey at all.

Who likes that shit ?

Nothing is better on these boards when fans try and defend dumb behavior. Except for penn state fans, that's just disgusting.

You're so correct. He should have just crashed the car and ran home then made a report in the morning.

That would have been the smart way, the Texas way.

We're on to stage 2, the deflecting stage.

Don't skip over the crossing the center line. I assume there is going to be some video evidence there.

Posession laws suck and are out there so police can get the easy low hanging fruit charges that just can't be disputed. With that I agree that it sucks. In NY he would have gotten the open container law in addition to the pot charge.

But no matter how legal weed becomes, we are not going to see LE come off of charges for having it in a vehicle when a person doesn't stay between the lines. Pot should be legal though.

DGB laughed at the kid and said come talk to me when you get busted selling drugs and beat your girlfriend. This is minor shit in Norman.....Even Stoops is yawning.....

Stage 2 is a long stage, especially for sooners.

Clearly our competitive advantage is why we have the golden hat.

Hopefully none of your thug players pawns it for some drugs

 

[Goldbug]

The OU guidance counselors should have already told everyone to be sure to drive with one eye closed when you're drunk or high so you don't see double. How hard can that be? Geez do I have to think of everything?

You're so correct. He should have just crashed the car into a building and ran home then made a report in the morning.

That would have been the smart way, the Texas way.
